Ghana’s ambassador extraordinaire and plenipotentiary to Italy with concurrent accreditation to Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Eudora Hilda Quartey Koranteng, has died.
She was reported dead on early hours of Wednesday October 20, 2021 in Roma.
She is said to have suffered from a sudden cardiac arrest.
She recently hosted President Akufo-Addo in Serbia when the president attended the 60th-anniversary celebrations of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in her concurrent capacity as Ghana’s envoy to Serbia, and was said to be in good health.
Ambassador Koranteng was appointed by President Akufo-Addo in 2019 and assumed office on June 11, 2019 after presenting her letters of credence to President Sergio Mattarella, in the Italian capital, Rome.
She was noted for having improved the efficiency of the mission by introducing an effective online and passport printing system.
Ambassador Eudora Quartey-Koranteng succeeded Paulina Patience Abayage, after she was recalled by President Akufo-Addo to serve as the Upper East Regional Minister.
